From Lockheed Martin, November 3:
Lockheed Martin and PsiQuantum have formed a strategic collaboration to advance quantum computing research and application for aerospace and defense. This agreement represents a major advance in the essential effort to determine how quantum computing can be applied to the complex challenges of national security and diverse aerospace technologies, and in the creation of utility scale quantum hardware with fault tolerant architectures capable of delivering reliable results for mission critical workloads.
Why Quantum Applications?
Today's most powerful super‑computers may struggle to model the ultra‑complex chemistry, fluid dynamics, and material behavior that drive modern aircraft, missiles and space systems. Those simulations demand more computing power than can be delivered efficiently with classical hardware alone. Quantum computing has the potential to overcome these bottlenecks, but a fault tolerant approach is needed for quantum computers to deliver on this promise.
Developing and testing these capabilities today positions our customers to deploy proven, mission‑ready quantum tools as soon as the technology matures, providing a decisive edge in performance, development timelines and national‑security outcomes....

PsiQuantum and Lockheed Martin Form Strategic Collaboration to Accelerate Quantum Computing for Aerospace and Defense
PALO ALTO, Calif. – PsiQuantum and Lockheed Martin have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to accelerate the development of quantum computing applications in aerospace and defense. Building on years of strategic collaboration, this joint effort marks a significant step forward in the critical work to address how quantum computing can be deployed against complex challenges in national security and a range of aerospace technologies.
Through this agreement, PsiQuantum and Lockheed Martin will explore projects to develop quantum algorithms in support of real-world aerospace and defense applications for the U.S. government and allies. This includes supporting PsiQuantum’s development and deployment of the world’s first utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers, as well as leveraging PsiQuantum’s software suite, Construct—a secure, end-to-end platform for designing, analyzing, and optimizing algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computing—as a key tool for collaboration.
“This strategic collaboration brings together PsiQuantum’s expertise in quantum applications and deployment with Lockheed Martin’s capabilities, expertise, and global leadership in aerospace and defense—and it takes our two companies’ years-long relationship to the next level,” said Mark Brunner, Executive Vice President for PsiQuantum’s U.S. Public Sector team. “Real, useful quantum computing will begin transforming the aerospace industry in a few short years, and now is the time for companies to prepare to seize the fullest potential of this technology.”....
